Book Review: A Witch in Isenshire
By now you all know how much I enjoyed Witch in the Lighthouse, and so I jumped at the chance when author Azalea Forrest put out a call for ARC readers for its sequel, A Witch in Isenshire, a book which I had the privilege of helping to reveal the cover for recently. I’ve really come to enjoy cosy fantasy as a genre, and if you had told me this would be the case a few years ago...
Cover Reveal: A Witch in Isenshire
Back in March, I had the privilege to share the updated cover for Witch in the Lighthouse, and now I have a similar honour to help Azalea share the cover for the upcoming sequel to that book! I’m really looking forward to A Witch in Isenshire, because I very much enjoyed the first book in the series. So I signed up as an ARC reader, and on the sign-up form...
Cover Reveal: Witch in the Lighthouse
I loved Witch in the Lighthouse when I read it last year. For me it really captured the cosy vibes and whimsy of a classic Studio Ghibli movie (you can read the full review here). So I jumped at the chance when Azalea asked for book bloggers to help share a couple of new announcements for this lovely book! First and foremost we have this really nice-looking cover refresh for the book!
Book Review: A Bitter Drink
I thoroughly enjoyed my previous read by Azalea Forrest, Witch in the Lighthouse, but after reading A Bitter Drink, I think this one is my new favourite of the two.

Book Review: Witch in the Lighthouse
I love Studio Ghibli movies. I could endlessly rewatch almost all of them (sorry, Tales From Earthsea, you don’t quite cut the mustard). I know Azalea Forrest is a Ghibli fan as well. So, when I kept seeing Witch in the Lighthouse being described as “Ghibli-esque”, I knew I had to pick it up. You may recognise Azalea Forrest as being the first author to have an interview on this blog, so check it out here to learn more about her and her books.
